Project Summary
As our cities age, many older buildings are ripe to reap the benefits of a well thought out retrofitting project, bringing it to today’s standards in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency. At UWCSEA’s Dover Campus, a 50-year-old campus has made headlines for its retrofitting project that cleverly incorporates a Open Source Digital Dashboard and new technology to achieve the Green Mark Super Low Energy Platinum (GM SLE Platinum) accreditation. Learn about how an integrated design approach over multiple phases of building could carry forward a decades-old structure to serve future needs of the community and sustainability.
